TREE'S PLACE

One of America's Finest Contemporary Galleries

“I am intrigued by the cairns found in Sedona,
Arizona. I want to incorporate them into my work by bringing a vortex of energy
and life force into each piece.”

I began my journey in San
Francisco, California as an apprentice woodworker fabricating boat interiors.
As the years went by I wanted more freedom of expression and became interested
in mixing metal with wood to create furniture art. My wall art grew from the
cairns found in Sedona, Arizona. I use river rocks as a central theme, bringing
both strength and softness to each sculpture.

Each
piece begins with rust patinated steel applied to a wooden frame. I then set a
unique variety of elements into each piece, from river rock to patinated
copper,gold and silver leaf as well as natural eggs. Each piece is finished
with a clear coat of lacquer
